BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0032] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of the construction method of the large-area arc-shaped glass roof curtain wall in the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0033] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the embodiments. It should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. in the text are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
[0034] This embodiment provides a construction method for a large-area arc-shaped glass roof curtain wall. As Figure 1 shown, it includes the following steps:
[0035] S10. Construction preparation;
[0036] S20. Arrange the fabrication of the arc-shaped steel structure base, arc-shaped glass, processed parts, etc. in the workshop according to the graphic dimensions drawn by the drafting software.
[0037] S30. Conduct on-site measurement. According to the curtain wall design construction drawings and the on-site actual measurement, use the computer-aided design software Revit of BIM to simulate the positioning of the arc-shaped steel structure base on the computer, then export the CAD detailed drawings for on-site measurement, and convert the computer positioning points to on-site positioning.
[0038] S40. Use the BIM model to conduct three-dimensional simulation pre-construction and give visual technical disclosure to the construction personnel.
[0039] S50. Install the arc-shaped steel structure base and arc-shaped glass in sequence according to the positioning points.
[0040] S60. Caulking and sealing.
[0041] S70. Water spray test.
[0042] S80. Cleaning and inspection.
[0043] S90. Completion acceptance.
[0044] The construction preparation in step S10 includes the following contents: Strictly purchase materials such as the skeleton materials, plates, sealant materials, structural bonding materials, and hardware according to the requirements of the design drawings, and ensure that there are inspections for incoming and outgoing goods. Relevant materials must have quality assurance certificates and performance test reports. Strictly control the material quality, and unqualified materials are prohibited from being used. Structural adhesives and weather-resistant adhesives must undergo compatibility tests. When handling and hoisting components, they shall not be collided or damaged. When the components are stacked on-site, they shall be classified and stacked on wooden pads according to the variety and specification.
[0045] In step S20, the fabrication of the arc-shaped steel structure base, arc-shaped glass, processed parts, etc. in the workshop can save steel and reduce on-site processing.
[0046] In step S30, the on-site measurement process is as follows: According to the large-scale elevation drawing of the curtain wall grid and the reference control points and lines of the structural construction elevation and axis, re-survey and set each reference control line for curtain wall construction. When setting out the lines, according to the positioning and grid dimensions required by the design, first set the positioning control points and lines on the column of the steel structure wall on both side facades, and then use a theodolite or a laser plumb instrument to lead the vertical control lines and the elevation center control lines upward at the large corners around the curtain wall. Directly draw the led control lines on the upper surface of the steel structure arc-shaped steel beam for calibration. Use a level and a standard steel tape to set the horizontal elevation control lines for each floor. The horizontal elevation should be introduced from the building elevation control lines of each floor. To avoid causing different heights of the curtain walls on each floor, attention should be paid to distributing the errors during measurement and not allowing the errors to accumulate. Finally, according to the design large-scale drawing and the set vertical, center, and elevation control lines, pop out the installation position lines of the horizontal and vertical frames, grids, and corners. During the construction process, each control line should be regularly calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the curtain wall verticality and the position dimensions of each part.
[0047] The simulation positioning on the computer includes the following process:
[0048] S31. According to the design drawings, use revit software to model the steel structure. According to the grid size at the midpoints of the two adjacent arc-shaped steel structure curved square tubes of the curtain wall, and extend with the three midpoints of the lower-upper-lower crossbeams as the endpoints to determine the height of the glass. Customize the arc-shaped glass model with revit software for simulation placement;
[0049] S32. After the curtain wall grid is determined, determine the grid points of the center axis of the first arc-shaped steel structure square tube in the revit software and divide the grids in sequence;
[0050] S33. In the 3D model, draw a horizontal line from the horizontal crossbeam square tube, extend it from the lower horizontal line to the upper roof crossbeam according to the vertical height, draw the reference line, and establish a rectangular coordinate system;
[0051] S34. According to the gap between the glasses in the drawings, leave the actual positioning line for the glass for the gap distance between the glasses to ensure that the gap sizes are the same and the glasses on the two roofs are butted;
[0052] S35. According to the glass finish situation, measure and verify the size of the arc-shaped steel structure base to see if the size needs to be adjusted and position it on the arc-shaped steel structure square tube;
[0053] S36. Export the detailed CAD drawings through the detailed BIM model of the roof glass curtain wall.
[0054] The process of converting the computer positioning points to on-site positioning is as follows:
[0055] S37. Use a total station to stake out the coordinates of points A and B, the midpoints of the steel structure columns. Determine their actual positions, then extend the coordinates to the curved steel structure square tubes on the roof, positioning the four corners. Simultaneously, perform measurements and verifications based on the grid until the positions are correct.
[0056] S38. Use a level to locate the lower end of the steel structure, the roof, and the lower end of the three beams. Mark the height from the midpoint of the three beams to the finished glass surface.
[0057] S39. Check whether the arc of the curved steel structure square tube is accurate from the horizontal line of the beam. If it is accurate, you can place an order according to the drawing. If there is an error, adjust the height of the curved steel structure base to ensure the arc is accurate.
[0058] S310. Perform plate positioning and grid division based on the existing positioning and grid division data.
[0059] In step S40, the BIM model is used to perform three-dimensional simulation pre-construction, which can avoid collision problems that may occur during construction in advance and optimize the construction process.
[0060] In step S50, the arc-shaped steel structure base process is as follows:
[0061] Check the model and specifications of the steel structure base → put it in place → install → adjust the three-dimensional direction → fully weld → grind → paint the surface.
[0062] The on-site installation process of curved glass is as follows:
[0063] Check and accept the glass panels → stack the glass panels in layers → initial installation → adjustment → fixation → acceptance.
[0064] The process of step S60 is as follows: After the glass is installed and adjusted, caulking and sealing should be performed according to the design requirements. If there are no design requirements, a neutral silicone weather-resistant sealant should be used. When caulking, first clean the gap and ensure that the bonding surface is clean and dry. Then, apply paper tape on both sides of the gap, and then inject glue. Use a special tool to point the joints while injecting glue. The formed glue surface is curved and concave and uniform without flow. Excess glue should be wiped off with a detergent in time to avoid contaminating the curtain wall surface. When using silicone building sealant, the product should be a fine, uniform paste without bubbles, crusting, or gel; the color should not be significantly different from the agreed sample; and its various physical and chemical performance indicators should meet the specifications.
[0065] After the curtain wall is installed, the water spray test shall be carried out according to the regulations. The test time, water volume, water head pressure, etc. shall comply with the current national standard "Testing Method for Rainwater Leakage Performance of Building Curtain Walls". At the same time, after the curtain wall is installed, the opening and closing of all operable windows shall be debugged one by one to ensure flexible opening and closing, and tight and flat closing. Finally, the entire surface of the curtain wall shall be thoroughly cleaned with a cleaning agent and wiped clean.
[0066] The above embodiments are only used to explain the concept of the present invention, rather than limiting the protection scope of the rights of the present invention. Any non-substantive changes made to the present invention using this concept shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
